One issue I see is for the rare case of the individuals they gave free hardware upgrades to. Do they give you a free hardware upgrade, and let you transfer it, and get hardware upgrades in the new car as well?
Though with them not offering an upgrade from HW3 to HW4, this is less of a valid argument.
I signed.
This is one of the many problems I have with FSD.
Insurance covers the car as a piece of hardware. You can literally build 100% of the car for 15k less than a car with FSD. FSD is just software enablement. Yet as a totaled car, you only get the value of the FSD at best, not FSD itself. So they don't "replace" FSD, do they just hand you 6k cash?
Oh yes, I forgot, they'll give you the money for the value as you insured it. So if it's 15k now it's not like the insurance company is going to give you the current market rate for the software you had unlocked. And it's not like Tesla is just going to give you free FSD for a new computer if it's replaced. Rock, meet hard place.
And don't tell me this was easy for you, it's a logistical nightmare since Tesla is literally the only car with this problem, and there are lots of insurance providers.
But here's the deal -- if FSD was licensed to a person, this doesn't matter. The hardware on the Teslas are basically the same, upgrades notwithstanding. We're at v3 of computer now, and FSD works on it, even assuming hardware v4 comes out tomorrow for a new tesla variant, it wouldn't matter when I sold my car, and FSD would still function at v3 capabilities on my current M3 car.
I really fail to see how licensing the software to the person is a bad thing. Even very major software companies have done this.
